Augie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 It helps if you aren’t down 20 points and can afford to stay balanced. Our D keeps us in games so we don’t need to panic. I LOVE that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Josh is like 6th or 7th ranked ff quarterback. I was a little surprised when I saw that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 It’s a running league and string Defense league now and that stat proves it. Great find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfield45 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) if our passing attack was anything close as efficient as those teams we'd be talking about SB contenders. really wish Beane got some extra offense playmakers last offseason. #1 WR and #2 RB should be main priorities this spring.

Last year Buffalo was 29th and went 6-10. Some teams such as Seattle always prefer to run more, but others are just running the ball a lot down the stretch when way ahead, like New Orleans. Generally it's not so much that running teams win as it is that winning teams get ahead and then run. Or that some teams have QBs they're trying not to force feed and so they deliberately run more. That was Buffalo last year. And as for "being in good company" ... the Bills are running 53.32% of the time at #28, but the next five teams, all within 3 percentage points of the Bills look like this: 27. 6-8 Indy 54.17% 26. 8-6 Tennessee 54.27% 25. 6-8 Oakland 54.96% 24. 9-5 Houston 56.92% 23. 7-7 Dallas 57.54% Those aren't powerhouses.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Great find. Looks like the top 10 teams in this area there are 4 division leaders, 3 more definite playoff teams, and one more team fighting for a playoff birth. It appears the league is slowly moving back towards a more balance attack. Whatever the reasons people want to say that occurring, is fine. Running to pass or passing to run will always be the way to win games. Offenses need to keep defenses guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also could mean these teams are ahead a lot so they try and shorten the game and keep the clock moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should show both cases if you want to win an argument. Edited December 18, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
